Watch: Man United stars at the double for Portugal after Cristiano Ronaldo left with nasty facial injury

The Red Devils have enjoyed a productive evening on the international front thus far

A trio of Manchester United stars have taken centre stage on Saturday evening, during Portugal’s meeting with the Czech Republic.

Fernando Santos’ men are, of course, currently locked in action.

In their latest Nations League outing, the Portuguese have made the trip to Prague, for a meeting with the aforementioned Czech Republic.

And, as things stand, the evening’s visitors look well on their way to all three points.

As alluded to above, though, it was not all positive for the Manchester United contingent lining out for Portugal at the Sinobo Stadium on Saturday evening.

In addition, before giving away a penalty (which was subsequently dragged wide by Patrik Schick), Cristiano Ronaldo was left with a nasty facial injury, evidence of which can be seen below:
